may still be).

Hello All,

The statutes in Alabama that are used to prosecute a juvenile in Alabama are
different from the adult charges. If there is a charge, it will be
"violation of Youthful Offender Statutes". In other words, the charge will
have no name such as theft of property, etc.. The young man's criminal
history, if convicted, will read "Youthful Offender".

We are hosting a CAP SARX this weekend so I'm sure some of the folks from
that part of the State will have the inside scoop.
